| COURSE DESCRIPTION: | |
| When communication takes place across language barriers, it raises fundamental
questions about meaning, style, power relationships, and traditions. This
course treats literary (and some other, e.g. film subtitles) translation
as a particularly complex form of cross-cultural interaction. Students
will work on their own translations of prose or poetry while considering
broader questions of translation, through critiques of existing translations,
close comparisons of variant translations, and readings on cultural and
theoretical aspects of literary translation. In other words, we will explore
a variety of aspects of translation. The plan is also to meet with several
professional translators. Advanced proficiency in a second language—any language, not just Russian–required. |
